My grandma is stuck on the Carnival Triumph that's dead in the water in the Gulf of Mexico and she just sent me this pic, what a fantastic sense of humor in such a shitty (no pun intended) situation #stranded #carnival #triumph #enginefirelaurenhessxo

Food, or the lack thereof, was also a major concern for passengers.

They opened the gift shop Tues for a couple hours and the line wrapped all the way around the lobby- Pringles were like gold but they had to limit everybody to 2 cans per party! They were six dollars a can too #crazy #triumph #pringles #carnivaltriumph #carnivalKaitlyn Robertson

The first sight of a helicopter we had. They came to pick up a passenger with a broken ankle and another who was very ill. #triumph #carnivaltriumph #carnival #cnnireportKaitlyn Robertson

Power outlets were also in short supply, leading groups to huddle around surge protectors.

This was one of the discovered only working outlets so people put their power strips together and we made a huge charging station! #carnival #triumph #carnivaltriumph #chargingstation #cnnireportKaitlyn Robertson
